Thermo couple ammeter full scale deflection

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the reading of a thermocouple ammeter with a full-scale deflection of 10 Amps when set to a 1/5th scale. The consensus is that the reading at this scale would be 2 Amps, as the scale directly correlates to the full-scale value. Participants clarify that the type of ammeter, specifically a heated junction type, does not affect this calculation. The discussion emphasizes the simplicity of the math involved, suggesting that basic arithmetic is sufficient for this determination.

if thermo couple ammeter full scale deflection is 10 Amp, for 1/5 th scale what is the Reading?

10 amp thermocouple current? Get real.
 
What I think brahma211 means is a heated junction type ammeter. The current through the ammeter heats a thermocouple indirectly which of course generates a thermocouple voltage which is measured. The type of ammeter has no consequence on 1/5th scale of a 10 amp full scale meter. It should not take more than 4th or 5th grade math to figure this one out.
